We are proud to announce that Roads and Maritime Services has awarded Quickway the contract to deliver a new bridge across the main western rail line on Chifley Road at Clarence. This forms part of the $95 million Great Western Highway and Bells Line of Road upgrade, and is Quickway’s second project with RMS.

Minister for Regional Transport and Roads and Member for Bathurst Paul Toole MP made the announcement, stating:

“… The new bridge on Chifley Road (will) improve safety for all road users and also improve regional access. The new bridge will have wider lanes, road shoulders and improved safety barriers. Construction is being carried out in line with pre-planned rail shutdowns to limit disruption for motorists and rail users. It is due to be completed in 2020 and once open to traffic, the existing bridge will be removed.”

We look forward to the challenges of the project, and to working collaboratively with RMS and Sydney Trains in delivering this project successfully.

Quickway are proud to have worked on Canberra’s biggest infrastructure project to date, which carried it’s first passengers today!

Having been involved since 2016 in a multi-disciplinary capacity, we want to thank all of our hardworking people, who have helped to connect the communities of Canberra.
Our teams delivered structural concrete works, installed electrical infrastructure, installed key power and telecommunications and rail works along the new track for this iconic project.

Quickway exhibited our undergraduate and graduate programs at The Big Meet. The event was held at the International Convention Centre Sydney, Darling Harbour with over 100 exhibitors and hundreds of undergraduates and recent graduates from all universities in the Sydney metropolitan region.

Our Senior Project Managers Jacobus Botha (Utilities Infrastructure) and Ian Wright (Transport Infrastructure) were there to answer any questions and do some networking with some potential future additions to our team!

At Quickway we’re proud of our diverse and safety conscious steel fixing crew who have earned a stellar reputation on NorthConnex.

LLBJV superintendent Mark Ingram said: “The crew are extremely hardworking and dedicated to the work that they do. It has been very beneficial having them as part of the team, as they perform a high risk job to a high standard.”

Quickway marked the start of National Safe Work Month today with our very first Safety Awareness Forum at the ANZ Stadium.
We had presentations from members of our own team as well as key guest speakers – Paul Monaro discussed prevention and management of soft-tissue injury, Simonette Vaja spoke on mental health matters, and Dallas Adams blew us all away with his raw and tragic personal account on ‘Why Safety Matters’. The impact that an accident in the workplace can have is unimaginable and Dallas uses his own loss to reinforce the important message that : ‘A moment is all it takes’.

Quickway are acknowledging ‘R U OK Day’ with toolbox talks across all sites today and have put the ‘R U OK?’ message on all computers.
We encourage people to start a dialogue with anyone you think is struggling. Our vision is a world where we are all connected and protected from suicide.
‘Every Day is R U OK? Day’.
Sometimes conversations are too big for friends, family or colleagues, and this is where professional support is needed. Don’t hesitate to use our free Employee Assistance Programme for help when needed.

Members of Quickway’s M5 WestConnex team pictured here with Keith Schleigel AKA ‘The Blockinator’, who was visiting the worksite at St. Peters today promoting R U OK? Day in conjunction with Mates In Construction.

Mates in Construction is an industry-led approach to preventing and reducing the high rates of suicide within the construction industry – we lose a construction worker every second day to suicide.

R U OK? Day is about encouraging people to ask the question, and offering support to those in your life who may be struggling – so check in with your family, friends or workmates today.

Quickway are pleased to announce that, having met the requirements of the Australian Government Building and Construction WHS Accreditation Scheme, we have been awarded accreditation from the Office of the Federal Safety Commissioner.

Quickway are one of a small number of companies nationwide who have obtained this accreditation, and one of a select few within our specific area of service to do so. This achievement provides Quickway with the opportunity to tender for and work directly as the head contractor on projects that are funded by the Australian Government, both state and national. Only head contractors who are accredited under the Scheme can enter into contracts of a value greater than $4M.

This accreditation enables the company to move into the next level of contracting, and we look forward to partnering with various Australian Government agencies and the continuing growth and success of our business as a result. This is one of the many recent examples of our great teamwork involving staff from various levels within our organisation working together, making large challenges achievable.

This achievement illustrates our ongoing commitment to comply with the latest industry standards, to ensuring quality products and services for our clients, to a safe and healthy working environment for our workers and adherence to environmentally sound practices in the course of our work.
